2. I responded affirmatively, and heard his radio say zero 33 hours.

3. Later officer Burnett again came over and asked if I was still alive. I responded affirmatively and heard his radio say 2:25 hours.

4. At about 6:15 am Officer Doerrler stood over me and pronounced that it was morning and time for me to get up.

5. I got up, and looked around for someone to come by so that I could communicate my grievance and have them sign my petition.
